They are distorted. Its just a very minor effect. Take your Andromeda numbers, the 110000 difference would be between the front and back, but that wouldn't be a visible distortion because it would be along the axis of vision. if you look at the difference in time between the center and the edges, you get something like sqr( 55000 ) + sqr( 2000000 ) = 4,003,025,000,000, √( 4003025000000 ) ÷ 2000000 =1.00037805353776129308527162 so the light on the edge would be .03% older.
